Born from the racetrack, Ferrari’s legacy as a motorsport icon has always influenced the road-going cars that roll off its production line, connecting owners to something bigger than a badge. And while every Ferrari carries that link, the marque’s ultra-exclusive Icona Series dives even deeper, using timeless 1950s and 1960s racing designs as inspiration for modern marvels like the Daytona SP3. The team at Ferrari of Central Florida recently welcomed a piece of Maranello’s history to its dealership, showcasing one of the 600 Ferrari Daytona SP3s in the world. 
Directly linked to history and to some of the early racing icons that came before it, this specific Daytona SP3 pays homage to its lineage with Ferrari’s classic Rosso Corsa finish, a color that translates to “Racing Red” and dates back to the first 125 S built in 1947. Other classic elements find their way into the build, including hand-painted Scuderia shields and a rear engine cover painted in the brand’s historic Argento Nürburgring shade.
A close glimpse reveals that the interior is layered in vibrant blue alcantara, which may seem like a modern touch, but actually pulls from other idols like the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. The cabin of a Daytona SP3 is like the perfect blend of past and present, keeping things simple and driver-centric while incorporating state-of-the-art tech and materials to make the driving experience as close to an actual race car as possible. 
The most impressive aspect of the Daytona SP3 sits at the rear, where Ferrari’s monstrous 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 sends 829 horsepower and 514 lb-ft of torque to its rear wheels. With few to zero public roads to experience the full capabilities of one of Ferrari’s most powerful hypercars, a race track is where drivers will be able to test its 2.85-second 0 to 60mph time and 211mph top speed. Making a cameo appearance at the dealership for all to see, you have to wonder what else Ferrari of Central Florida has up its sleeves, or inside its garages.
